“…Another limitation of the use of ETS is the high rates of compensatory sweating observed postoperatively (range 8-95.4 %, mean 57.8 %). Compensatory sweating refers to increased sweating in non-denervated parts of the body [33]. With T2 sympathectomy, this commonly occurs on the back, trunk and lower limbs but can also manifest on other parts of the body.…”

Eski Mısır yazmalarından anlaşıldığı üzere kanser en azından 3,500 yıldır önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Artan bilgi birikimi ve teknolojik yeniliklerle birlikte kansere karşı yapılan mücadelede önemli başarılar elde edilmiştir. Ancak kanser tüm dünyada ölümlerin hala önde gelen nedenlerindendir. Son yüzyılda genetik ve histopatolojik çalışmalarla hastalığın doğası daha iyi anlaşılırken, onkoloji kimi anabilim dallarında cerrahi onkoloji örneğinde olduğu gibi bir bilim dalı olmuştur. Kanser hastalarında karar verme süreci üzerinde çeşitli çalışmalar yapılmış doğru karar vermenin hastalığın iyi yönetimi için gerekli olduğu üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu makalede amacımız bilinenlerden hareketle bu önemli konuda ilave çalışmaların yapılması için zemin oluşturmak, karar alma sürecinin zorluklarını anlama ve bunları aşma konusunda kat edilmesi gereken bir yolun varlığına vurgu yapmaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Karar verme, cerrahi, karar destek sistemleri ÖZ ABSTRACTAs can be seen from ancient Egyptian writings, cancer has been a major health problem for at least 3.500 years. Significant progress has been achieved in the battle against cancer in conjunction with increased knowledge and technological developments. However, cancer remains one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide. In the last century, as genetics and histopathological studies have fostered our understanding of the nature of the disease, oncology has become a subdiscipline within some of the major medical branches, i.e. surgical oncology. Several studies have been conducted on the decision-making process in cancer patients and it has been emphasized that correct decision-making is essential for proper management of the disease. In this article, we aimed to create a foundation based on what we already know on this important issue, to understand the difficulties of the decisionmaking process, and to emphasize the developments needed to overcome these difficulties.
